With more choices of products, the information of products for customers to select and meet their needs become crucial. In order to address the mass customization principle to the company, the use of recommender system is suggested. This system helps recommend the proper products to the customers and helps customers make the decision during the purchasing process.

Update: Below is an article on the Internet sales tax rules for this state prior to the Supreme Court's decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc. on June 21, 2018. The Wayfair decision overturned the prior rule established in Quill Corporation v. North Dakota which prohibited states from requiring a business to collect sales tax unless the business had a physical presence in the state. Some states already had laws prior to the Wayfair decision (commonly referred to as Amazon Laws) that require larger Internet sellers without a physical presence in the state to collect and pay sales tax under certain circumstances. It is expected that states will now pass new laws requiring online retailers to collect sales tax for sales within their state. We will update this article as the laws change. For more information, see Internet Sales Tax: A 50-State Guide to State Laws.

For example, for purposes of illustration only, an Internet vendor with a principal place of business located outside the state might : 1. own or maintain inventory or other property in the state; or 2. contract with an in-state representative (including a related person) other than as referenced in 830 CMR 64H.1.7(1)(b)2.a. through c., and thereby create state sales or use tax jurisdiction. In these cases, the Internet vendor is subject to tax on all of its Massachusetts sales for the tax periods in question.

In his case, Smart Furniture plans to hit the brakes on hiring. "Almost certainly, the company would have to slow its pace of investment, innovation, and, ultimately, hiring in order to plan for these potential changes," he says.

The answer, at its basis, is largely what I convey in a great majority of my books about search engine optimization and online marketing. It all boils down to one simple concept: add tremendous amounts of value to the world. The more value you add, the more successful you become.

Most online marketers mistakenly attribute 100% of a sale or lead to the Last Clicked source. The main reason for this is that analytic solutions only provide last click analysis. 93% to 95% of marketing touch points are ignored when you only attribute success to the last click. That is why multi-attribution is required to properly source sales or leads.
